The Role Of Psycholinguistics In Foreign Language Education: Language Policy In Uzbekistan

Abstract

This article explores the role of psycholinguistics in foreign language education, particularly regarding language policy in Uzbekistan. Additionally, it provides an analysis of the research conducted by scientists in this field. As Uzbekistan continues its development towards becoming a developed nation, significant changes are evident across all levels of education and in various sectors. Notably, the study of foreign languages is assuming a central position within public policy, as demonstrated by decrees and decisions implemented by state leaders.

The process of learning a foreign language also depends on the psychological state of the child. Psychologists have studied this situation in their research. The scientific theories of scientists were combined with practice, as a result of which the situations of learning English by primary school students in the education system of Uzbekistan were analyzed. English teachers teach the names of fruits, vegetables, animals (wild and domestic), flowers, and family members through short poems and songs based on the interests of kindergarten learners.
